Casino Troubles

This weekend my buddies and I went to Foxwoods in Connecticut.  I'm not a big gambler, but my two friends are avid poker players.  I was playing blackjack while they hit the poker tables.  I doubled up, and took home some money, while they lost big at the casino.  Despite their troubles at the casino, the drive to and from the casino was a lot of fun.  We spent the 45 minutes listening to Curtis Mayfield, and observing our surroundings.  There is not a whole lot, when you drive out to Foxwoods, but we were driving alongside another car for two or three miles, and until the third mile this person did not realize we were watching their actions.  They were clearly on the phone, and he was very frustrated.  As the roads changed from three lanes to two, then two to one, this man was missing the road signs and would have to quickly merge.  The tree's blew by us, until there was a clearing and we saw the lights of the casino.  It was almost as if we could hear the bells ringing and the opportunities that awaited us within the large structure.  The trip home was a bit depressing for the others, but we stopped at a pizza joint and I bought us all some slices, so the trip took on a brighter feeling with some cheesy goodness in Connecticut.
